I just checked and Cross Manage currently has the lowest combined chapter 4~5 average any new series has ever had since 1996 by a series called K.O. Masatome. Zan and OVER TIME (both in 2006) also had really awful placements before chapter 8.

This week's placement of Date-senpai was also very low, but still isn't horrible compared to a dozen or so other series that started in the past decade.

Haikyuu is by far the most popular with Date-senpai being the most unpopular. Kurogane is not as unpopular as the others in the unpopular group, but definitely not popular enough to be put in the popular group.

I don't know the reason why people are not interested, but I also dropped Cross Manage this week. I really liked the oneshot and enjoyed chapter 1 but I haven't had much fan reading it since. I also currently love Haikyuu too much to care about another sports series unless its amazing.

LOL Sorachi's comment (on the TOC) cracked me up. So random, weird, and disgusting... snippets I found interesting from this week's comments for all those who generally wonder what the authors write on their columns:

Sorachi gets diarrhea from meetings with his editor. More precisely, the minute he sees that guy's face it's already starting...

Asou (Saiki Kusuo no PSI-nan) just can't believe he actually made the cover and opening pages while still being published. He's worried JUMP might stop selling now due to this week's issue.

Kondou (Retsu!!! Date-senpai) says he likes the series Reach Man (by Yoneda Tatsurou) from Kodansha's Morning. [I just like seeing what series the authors like, especially when it's not from their respective magazine/publisher.]

*grinning from ear to ear* Jump readers love Furuichi. I am so happy about this development! I hope Beelzebub stays in that position for the next couple of weeks. And the fact we get another color page next week is like icing on the cake.

Now-a-day, when I look at Jump, its nice to see more variety of manga than there were a couple of years ago. Ever since Zeromcd posted that list showing male/female popularity of Jump manga, it makes me content knowing Jump manga really does have cross-demographic appeal. Its a shame Momiji won't last long, but I hope there's another interesting rom-com that replaces it.
